Threshold

The SSCP Threshold Tool helps in identifying at what level a child, young person's or family's needs are at, to help us to identify the most appropriate response. This is an inter-agency procedure. It's a document for assisting in analysing information and making informed decisions about risk.

Safeguarding

If there are safeguarding concerns that can't be met through an early help approach, they should be escalated in line with local safeguarding procedures. If you feel a child is in immediate danger, please call 999. If you're worried about a child, please call First Point of Contact on 0345 678 9021 for advice and support.
